But, I did capture one of Pete's banjo.
In the days the Temple stood in Jerusalem, the shofar was a specialized instrument. It was used as a call of impending danger. It was used to announce important moments - new moons, holidays, festivals. And it was a call to arms!
The blast of the shofar. It still calls to us today.
An organization dedicated to addressing and combating human rights abuses in Israel adopted the image of the shofar as it's logo...and echoes the clarion call of the shofar in its name: T'ruah.
It's mission is awe-filled: "Grounded in Torah and our Jewish historical experience and guided by the Universal Declaration of Humasn Rights, we advocate for human rights in Israel and North America." Israel and the United States are twinned in so many ways. Both pride themselves for being true democracies. Yet, both here and in Israel. human rights are too often ignored and - even, at times - violently trampled upon. It is T'ruah's mission to call out the injustice and demand a return to core Jewish and Western human rights values.
Rabbi Jill Jacobs is the Executive Director of T'ruah.
She is the passion and the soul behind this organization. As a people reminded constantly to "remember the stranger, for you were strangers in Mitzrayim," it is Rabbi Jacob's goal to help us remain true to that vision, to call us to be an "Am Kadosh," a holy people. Rabbi Jacobs and T'ruah sound the shofar to the human ills in our midst...and offer us ways to heal the brokenness we see.
This weekend we are pleased that Rabbi Jacobs will be our Scholar-in-Residence. She will offer a keynote address during Erev Shabbat services. On Shabbat morning, she will teach as part of our informal service. Then, we invite all teens and college students from the Jewish community for a Kiddush Lunch and an opportunity to study in an intimate setting. Finally, she will speak again at 7:00 pm. For a full listing of her topics during the weekend, CLICK HERE.
Someone with a cape? Fancy superhero suit? Super powers beyond those of mortals?
Not really.
True heroes have feet of clay, like each of us.
True heroes struggle and fail, like each of us.
True heroes understand that - as circumstances change - so should our responses.
We all have our lists of heroes, and not of the "super" genre. Mine include people like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela. Each was a true hero, yet each was a flawed human being. What made them true heroes is that they were able to seize the opportunities presented and adjusted their own perspectives in order to achieve a greater good.
Israel has had it's share of heroes. Yitzhak Rabin and Menachem Begin were two such heroes. Each was a fighter. Yitzhak Rabin was the hero of the Six Day War. Menachem Begin lead the Irgun, in fighting the British and the Arabs to achieve independence. Both men understood the circumstances of their day. Begin welcomed Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem to begin a process that would lead to (a form of) peace with Egypt. Rabin would sign a peace accord with Yasir Arafat, which many still hope will be the foundation for a permanent peaceful two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. Both were men who fought the enemy with a sword and embraced them later as partners.
Israel has lost another of its heroes, Ariel Sharon. For the vast majority of his life, Sharon was a fighter. And like Menachem Begin, he committed acts for which he was condemned. He was held to be personally responsible for permitting a horrendous massacre of up to 3,000 civilians in the Lebanese Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. At the same time, he was considered one of Israel's greatest field commanders. When he retired and entered politics, Sharon was right-wing, hawkish in protecting every inch of Israel's soil...unbending in trading land for peace. None of this made him a hero.
What turned a flawed human into an inspiring hero happened near the end of his career, before his debilitating stroke that left him in a vegetative state for 7 years. We will never fully understand what changed with Sharon. But we know that he pulled Israel out of Gaza, left Likud and formed Kadima, a right centrist political party, and was most likely preparing for a unilateral withdrawl from the West Bank. These actions would have created the de facto Palestinian state. What he did in Gaza was bold. What he might have done in the West Bank was even bolder. And what might have resulted, we can only imagine.
I never liked Ariel Sharon as a leader. However, I recognized that characteristic of heroism in him, shared by those whom I do admire. It was that ability to think differently about a situation...differently than others...differently than he used to...differently in order to make a difference. It will be generations before we know if pulling out of Gaza was brilliant or failed vision. And we will never know what might have been if he had pulled Israel out of the West Bank. But this we do know. Israel (and Jews) is never in a good place when we are forced to be oppressors...even if it is to defend ourselves. Yes, sometimes it is necessary. But it is never good. And Ariel Sharon understood that. Thus, he is a hero in my mind.
His lesson is ours, as well. We may not be individually responsible for the fate of our country or our people. Yet, each of us is responsible...to ourselves, our family, our friends, our communities. The question to ask is: Are we prepared to become heroes?
Are we willing to put aside our own egos, our own ways of looking at life's issues and look again differently? Are we willing to make those difficult, sometimes unpopular, decisions that are for the better good (of ourselves, our families, our friends, our communities)? If we are, then we can become heroes as well.
This Friday we welcome the newest babies to our congregational family. As part of our Young Family Shabbat, this special evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the chapel with our congregational family. The service will begin with us blessing our newest babies, then we will leave the chapel and continue our Shabbat celebration elsewhere in the building while the rest of the congregation continues with our main service. A potluck dinner for our young families will follow the conclusion of their service, at 6:30 pm.
If you have a child born in your family between 9/1/2012 and 8/31/2013, please RSVP to Sue Boxer (913-66304050 X213; email@example.com.) and let us know your family will join us. B'nai Jehudah's Sisterhood and PJ Library (in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Kansas City) will partner with us for this very meaningful and moving moment for parents, grandparents, babies, and our entire congregation as we welcome these newest B'nai Jehudah legacies.
That command was a precusor to the destiny our people experienced for thousands of years. Until just this last century, the Jewish story has been one (largely) of deprivation and struggle for survival.
Once a month in Kansas City and once every-other-month in Olathe, our congregation joins together to feed those who struggle in our community. We give them a chance to dine...a luxury they are rarely afforded on their own.
As 2014 dawns, our first opportunity to feed our neighbors and soothe some of their struggles is:
This year, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of the Union for Reform Judaism, offered his first keynote, having assumed the presidency at the last biennial. As part of that road map, he challenged us to adopt "audacious hospitality" in his keynote address. (To read/watch the entire keynote, CLICK HERE.)
So, each time we walk in the doors of our building - and each time we act through our Jewish souls - let us practice audacious hospitality. And may we leave those we welcome - and ourselves - breathless and transformed.

While the Treasury Department has delayed the withholding and account due diligence requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act until July 1, 2014, it is still getting ready for the rollout.
The Treasury announced the six-month delay in the controversial law's requirements last week (see Treasury Delays FATCA Withholding Requirement). FATCA was included as part of the HIRE Act of 2010, and was originally supposed to take effect this year, requiring foreign financial institutions to report on the holdings of U.S. taxpayers to the Internal Revenue Service or face stiff penalties.
This is the second delay as the U.S. government tries to work out intergovernmental agreements with other countries by agreeing to share information about their taxpayers with them. But the legal status of the agreements is not clear as the Treasury has not been submitting them to the Senate for ratification, as it has traditionally done with tax treaties.
The Treasury was supposed to roll out a portal on July 15 where foreign financial institutions could register and submit information, but that date has been pushed back to August 19 to give banks more time to begin testing the process and entering information.
However, in preparation for the rollout, the IRS has redesigned and updated the FATCA Web pages, the IRS said in an email Friday. Additions include a new landing page for U.S. financial institutions that addresses their FATCA responsibilities. Another new page provides information for governments interested in the intergovernmental agreements. A link for the FATCA registration Web site will be added in August, the IRS noted, once the registration system opens.
Mary Kopczynski, chief executive of the New York-based consulting firm 8of9 Consulting, has been helping banks and other financial institutions get ready for FATCA, and she has seen many problems arise as they try to set up their technology to comply with the demanding new regulations.
"There have been so many problems. Oh, how many can I count," she said Tuesday. "We'll start with the fact that the regulators themselves are not super clear on what they want. It's a little bit hard to comply with an imaginary thing. I think a lot of these delays that have been coming from the regulators are because they realize that they don't have their stuff together to know exactly what they really want. There are a lot of technicality issues and housekeeping. What seems to be very basic information is actually quite difficult to achieve. A lot of the global investment banks are truly global and they have hundreds if not thousands of legal entities all around the world."
The intergovernmental agreements that the Treasury has been signing can be both a help and a hindrance in getting the law to work.
"One of the things that other countries can do when they sign onto a treaty is agree to everything but one detail," said Kopczynski. "From a compliance standpoint, just because somebody signs an IGA doesn't mean you're free and clear. You still have to read the IGA and see that Denmark has this one special rule, and the Cayman Islands has this other special rule. So you have to figure out how you're going to build the technology that's going to remember all these special rules on a global level."
The delay gives some relief, Kopczynski acknowledged, especially over time as more countries sign IGAs.
"From an international law perspective, what the IRS has done is pretty brazen," said Kopczynski. "They have managed to get a whole bunch of countries around the world to comply with our laws that normally countries around the world have no obligation to comply with, but it is the United States having the capability of flexing its muscles in a way that is surprising how impactful it's been. I was shocked that Switzerland has signed on to a particular version of the IGA because they are very particular about secrecy laws and what they disclose to people. But I think from a practical perspective the IRS also realized they only have like a dozen countries that have signed on, and there are lots more countries than 12 in the world. Some of these global financial institutions are moving money into every single country around the world."
Banks were mostly relieved about the delay giving them more time to get ready, although many of them have been putting plans in place to show that they were at least trying to prepare their systems for FATCA. "This time, the difference is that they finally have gotten far enough into the execution of their plans that they're freaking out," said Kopczynski.
The delay has reduced the pressure, for a few months at least. "Everybody is breathing a huge sigh of relief, thinking, 'OK, we might be able to get that done in six months.' In a way, it was a very welcome and very smart move," said Kopczynski. "This is not an easy thing that people are expected to do, but I wouldn't say that it made everybody relaxed."
The extra six months probably won't be sufficient time for the banks to get totally ready for FATCA. "One of the big areas that the IRS has been quiet on is special purpose entities," said Kopczynski. "They're special shell corporations that were multiplying like wildfire in the 90s and the 2000s before the crash. There are a lot of these legacy entities that still exist. There's a huge chance that the IRS is going to grant relief on those particular entities, and everybody's waiting for it because that is going to be the hardest and most complex piece to even begin to try to unravel. There is definitely expectation that is going to come down the line."
Another obstacle is that some lawmakers in Congress are opposed to the U.S. sharing tax data with foreign governments. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ken., has proposed repealing provisions of FATCA that he contends violate the privacy of U.S. citizens (see Rand Paul Introduces Bill to Repeal Parts of FATCA). Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., recently sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew calling for a moratorium on FATCA enforcement and on the negotiation of intergovernmental agreements (see Congressman Calls for Moratorium on FATCA Enforcement).
"It's certainly a huge intercoordination of data," said Kopczynski. "There are pros and cons. People are opposed to the United States being the world police, but from my perspective, money is so global and so interwoven anyway. Even if you are considered an 'American bank,' you may have offices in every country in the world and money moving around every country in the world."

Schools Minister rejects music hub funding
Schools Minister has rejected the calls to boost funding for the UK's music hubs that help disadvantaged children have instrument lessons. Following a Department for Education (DfE) review of England's network of 121 music hubs, it was stated that there will be no changes to either the role or funding formula for music education hubs until at least 2020.
According to artsprofessional.co.uk, in a letter to Arts Council England chief , our Schools Minister said that although hubs were intended to serve the needs of disadvantaged pupils, evidence shows that "fewer disadvantaged pupils have instrumental lessons or take part in musical ensembles".
"Social mobility is a key priority for the Government, and so we are looking at all our programmes to see how we can ensure they serve the needs of disadvantaged pupils and those from ordinary working families," said the minister.
He has rejected any changes to the funding formula of music hubs, and no additional money will be available to support the program, which will be a disappointment to those especially in rural areas that feel more funding is need to properly execute the hubs.
"No funding formula is perfect. The current formula is based on each hub's share of the pupil population, with extra weighting given to the number of disadvantaged pupils in each area. We have concluded that we should retain the formula until 2020," said our Schools Minister. How many of you agree?

Comedienne Amy Schumer has tackled the Bill Cosby sexual assault scandal head-on with a wickedly funny courtroom skit, in which she plays the embattled funnyman's defense lawyer.
Cosby has been accused of rape, sexual assault and general inappropriate behavior by over 30 women, who have come forward with decades-old claims in the past eight months.
The comic hasn't addressed the allegations and his legal representatives have dismissed them, but now Schumer has taken the drama to the courtroom for a sketch on her show Inside Amy Schumer.
As his defense attorney in a Court of Public Opinion, Schumer poked fun at Cosby fans who refuse to believe The Cosby Show star could be guilty of the allegations piling up around him.
At one point in the skit, which aired on Tuesday night (26May15), she stated, "If convicted, the next time you put on a rerun of The Cosby Show, you may wince a little, you might feel a little pain and none of us deserve that."
Schumer, as Cosby's lawyer, also played The Cosby Show's theme tune and an extract from the show to the jury and handed out Cosby's staple pudding pops and sweaters, like the ones the comic wore on the show, while a chocolate cake arrived for the jury members, courtesy of "a Mr. B. Cosby".
After playing the popular theme song, Schumer asked, "Did anyone feel raped by that...? I felt comforted by a familiar father figure."
Cosby has never been charged in connection with any of the sexual assault claims.

|[Hadoop Wiki] Update of "CUDA On Hadoop" by ChenHe
|Wed, 16 Mar 2011 03:44:51 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The "CUDA On Hadoop" page has been changed by ChenHe. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/CUDA%20On%20Hadoop?action=diff&rev1=13&rev2=14 -------------------------------------------------- === For C/C++ programmers === We employ CUDA SDK programs in our experiments. For CUDA SDK programs, we first digested the code and partitioned the program into portions for data generation, bootstrapping, and CUDA kernels, with the former two components transformed respectively into a standalone data generator and a virtual method callable from the map method in our MapRed utility class. The CUDA kernel is kept as-is since we want to perform the same computation on the GPU only in a distributed fashion. The data generator is augmented with the feature for taking command-line arguments such that we can specify input sizes and output location for different experiment runs. We reuse the code for boot-strapping a kernel execution into part of the mapper workload, thus providing a seamless integration of CUDA and Hadoop. The architecture of the ported CUDA SDK programs onto Hadoop is shown in Figure 1. For reusability, we have used object-oriented design by abstracting the mapper and reducer functions into a base class, i.e., MapRed. For different computing, we can override the following virtual methods defined by MapRed: + + [[http://cse.unl.edu/~che/images/streaming-2.bmp|Figure 1]] {{{ void processHadoopData(string& input);

Navy funds Arizona for a Hypersonic wind tunnel• https://www.nextbigfuture.com
University of Arizona engineers are installing three 20-foot-long tubes for a new high-speed wind tunnel in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Building. The Office of Navy Research (ONR) funded them with $2 million to study problems of instability and materials failure for aircraft and missiles flying at highly supersonic, or hypersonic, speeds of Mach 5 and above.
High-Level Testing
The wind tunnel under construction, expected to be ready for testing in spring 2018, is a low-disturbance, or quiet, Mach 4 tunnel. A second quiet tunnel, slated for completion in 2020, will shoot bursts of air at Mach 5, five times the speed of sound — about 3,800 mph. These new facilities will supplement the UA's existing wind tunnels, where researchers conduct experiments at subsonic and supersonic speeds.
Tubes for the new high speed wind tunnel are in front of one of the Arizona researchers
Hypersonics on the Edge
At speeds of Mach 5 and higher, the air begins to change chemically and becomes an electrically charged field. Craig, Fasel and Tumin are studying the complex (and still poorly understood) phenomena that occur at the boundary layer between laminar and turbulent airflows at such high speeds.
"Whenever you've got anything flying through the air, a thin layer of air forms over its surface," Craig explained. "That layer may flow in a smooth or laminar fashion, like honey pouring from a jar, or in a chaotic, turbulent way, like turning on a faucet at full blast."
When vehicles traveling at hypersonic speeds encounter airflows at the laminar-turbulent boundary, they experience significantly increased drag and become dangerously hot. Such aerothermodynamic heating is why rockets require deep layers of thermal insulation to keep them from burning up upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

Tamarindo is only a short ferry ride across the estuary. You can get the ferry at the river mouth down the beach for $1 per person (c500) or from the Bula Bula Hotel for about $6 per person(c3000). The ferry runs from 7:00am to 4:00pm daily and will run later during the busy seasons. Ask the boat captain what time he will be stopping to be sure you have a ride back. If you are unfortunate and miss the last boat, you will need to take a taxi from Tamarindo to Playa Grande and that will cost around $25.00. It is a 20km trip by road.
Ferry Hours: 7:00am to 4:00pm
Cost: 1$ per person (c500)

This is a revision of an earlier painting. The whole Pond Series featured flowing free-form backgrounds with sculpted aspen leaves "floating" on the surface. Previously, the background on the upper left was very dark. I wanted to keep it rich looking, but lightened it up with some more purple/green. I also toned down the orange. The leaves are sculpted with acrylic medium and then painted with metallic gold and bronze.

|Re: No HOST header solutions?
|Sat, 01 Jun 1996 23:35:07 GMT
(catching up, seems like I'm in a perpetual catch-up state these days) The recommendation in host.html is alright with me - every solution which tries to accomodate old browsers is going to have some ugliness associated with it unfortunately. The double-indexing problem is unfortunate, but I consider that less unfortunate than having URLs like http://www.apache.org/apache/ as the *mandatory* URL format. Still, there are problems with that solution - there are cases where references can't be relative, at least to the document root, i.e. <!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --> which is much easier to maintain than if the number of "../"'s had to be maintained. Also, DOCUMENT_ROOT is pretty significant to some scripts. For some of the content on hyperreal (such as the Low Res Film Festival, http://www.hyperreal.com/lowres/) I'll probably use just the solution described in Alexei's document. But for Organic clients we probably won't use non-IP vhosts until 95% of the requests coming in have a Host: header attached, with the default page then being "I see you browser doesn't support Host:. Here are the browsers which do support it...". Of course, if we can make sure Host: header support in the Apache proxy modules is correct then we can tell people to install our proxy server too. :) > Yep, it could. Here's a patch. It adds a new directive, ServerPath, > which lets you do this (to continue with our example): > > <VirtualHost www.apache.org> > ServerName www.apache.org > ServerPath /apache > DocumentRoot /usr/web/apache > </VirtualHost> > > Then, therefore http://www.apache.org/apache/ will get you the Apache > pages, regardless of whether or not the client supports Host. > > It also adds a ServerRedirect command which would, if you added > "ServerRedirect On" to the above entry, cause a (Host-header included) > request for http://www.apache.org/ (and its member documents) to be > redirected to http://www.apache.org/apache/. This solves the > double-mapping problem, and the relative link problem, since all links > can now be of the longer form, but if your browser sends Host:, you > can still type in all the shorter ones, and advertise them on teevee > or whatever. I think this is something that belongs in CGI land instead of inside the server, sincethis is really only an issue for the request for the root object (http://www.apache.org/), and one could use index.cgi to look at HTTP_HOST and decide where to redirect people to. This would have to go into the core, right? If it were a module I'd be less adamant about not wanting to put stopgap solution cruft in the server. The situation in which Alexei's solution is needed is one where I decide to move www.apache.org from being an IP-based VH to a Host:-based VH, and want to make sure that for most browsers http://www.apache.org/docs/ gets redirected to http://www.apache.org/apache/docs/. I don't consider needing to support old VH's for a stopgap solution as a priority, since as Rob said, that's spilt milk.

Most of the people of Saudi Arabia are Arabs. The majority are Saudis—Arabs born in Saudi Arabia—and the rest are Arabs from other countries. Culturally, the Saudis are very homogeneous. Virtually all speak Arabic (a Semitic language) and follow Islam. Saudi Arabia is particularly important to Muslims because it contains the two holy cities of Islam: Mecca—the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad—and Medina. Each year millions of Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca. This…

OEM Gebo-Cermex audits new equipment and performs ongoing system health checks using ShockQC™ and PressureQC™.
Request Demo
Find out what's happening on your line:
Knowledge and solutions are the currency of glass engineering firms and equipment providers such as Gebo-Cermex. However, knowledge must be verified by data, particularly during system audits and the testing of new equipment installations that could potentially trigger significant issues downstream in a domino effect.
Gebo-Cermex now regularly uses a combination of ShockQC and PressureQC on the line to test new equipment installations and perform packaging line audits. Auditors use the system to determine which equipment on the line is causing concern and make appropriate recommendations. These recommendations to beer, wine, food, and spirit companies globally are potential business opportunities for efficiency projects.
ShockQC is a smart replica of glass containers, cans or other fragile containers to measure IPS and G-Force to identify the root cause of damage with 99% repeatability. Location tracking with wireless Bluetooth beacons pinpoint the origin of damage and opportunities for improvement.
Outfitted with pressure sensitive film, PressureQC smart sensor replicas are placed on the line to measure scuffing and squeeze load for glass, PET and canning industries. Location beacons identify where to take immediate corrective actions and prioritize maintenance tasks to minimize rejects and extend bottle life.

Hackathon: from idea to prototype in one week
We help to organize successful hackathons
During one intensive week, a team of growth hackers within a corporate reinvents the status quo of an existing product. The goal of the Hackathon is to completely redesign both the business model and user interaction. No boring lectures, but a hands-on approach which leads them from idea to prototype in only one week.
For me it's essential to hire an external party, such as Board of Innovation. They provide you with the right tools and continually make sure that you're following the right track.Jelle Huygen, Project Manager at SD Worx
Let's get in touch!
Do you want more info about this program? Please fill in this form below to have a quick chat with one of our experts.
Reinvent an existing product
Build and validate prototypes
How to design your own hackathon
Monday: "Frame"
On the first day the team frames the current situation of the offering and analyses potential customer goals.
Tuesday: "Develop"
Together with some stakeholders the co-creates several solutions that answer the problems of day one.
Wednesday: "Decide"
The team selects and designs some of the discovered features and business model elements in order to test them with different stakeholders. #getoutofthebuilding
Thursday: "Prototype"
The validated features and business model get transformed into a visual mock-up of the product. Just like any startup everyone works late to meet the deadline ;-)
Friday: "Validate"
The prototype gets the last tweaks according to the dry run feedback. All team members work together to get the final pitch ready. Both customers and top management join the session to give feedback! #raisethebar
A hackathon is only successful when there are both a validated business model & a visual prototype at the end.
Aftermovie of our latest hackathon: we recently facilitated a hackathon with SD Worx, a Belgian HR-software company. In one week we went from the idea of reinventing an existing product, to an actual prototype. This movie will give you a first impression of how a hackathon looks like.
Extra Tips to create a perfect Hackathon
If you're planning on facilitating a hackathon yourself in the future, check out these 10 essential tips.
Ideal for:
Organizations that look for a challenging way to explore the potential of a product, service or idea. Engaged corporate teams that like to be pulled out of their comfort zone and that want to be a part of an intensive but unforgettable startup experience. In short, if you want to reinvent one of your existing products, a hackathon is what you're looking for!

BRISTOL — The Rev. Robert J. Lysz, who was bludgeoned to death in his church in late June, has left behind a legacy that is considered one of the most important contributions a priest can make to his Catholic faith -- nurturing others to consider the vocation.
His efforts, which parishioners at St. Matthew Church say included an open door and an innate ability to recognize the calling in others, prompted five men from his parish to turn a spark of religious ardor into a decision to explore the priesthood.

is this you?
"When I use the word 'rebel' for the artist, I do not refer to revolutionary or to such things as taking over the dean's office...Artists are generally soft spoken persons who are concerned with their inner visions and images...Forever unsatisfied with the mundane, the apathetic, the conventional, they always push on to newer worlds..." - Rollo May, The Courage to Create
Does this quote describe you? It's a pretty accurate description of me.
I've been reading Rollo May lately. It's an intense sort of reading, one that reminds me of all those philosophy classes I took in college (I LOVED philosophy and minored in it, actually). This is definitely not a page turner. I find the author's statements so profound and personal that I need to sit with them and let them breathe.
This book is less about the creator as artist and more about the creator of LIFE (perhaps the reason I feel as though I am in philosophy class all over again?)
And yet, art is life, at least, for me.

Art is life and life is art~~~~ In the manner of a mobius strip. One can't help but "Create Everyday", right? But just what is being created. Is it creation with intention? Or does one act without consciousness and awareness, thus creating all sorts of things that, perhaps, are not so great or of service to that person and the world/all of creation.ReplyDeleteReplies

Hunting Love
Lady Razeli
Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Hercules and Xena what so ever they belong to other people who are not me.
Chapter One
Iolaus took three steps to Hercules one, he had never gotten over the feeling of inadequacy Hercules gave him and although he loved the big guy it was just hard to shake the feeling. Iolaus nearly scoffed out loud as he thought of his jealous tendencies, it seemed to him that for someone he called his best friend, he sure did envy him a lot. What was it about Hercules that got him all the women and fame, nine times out of ten Iolaus had been right beside him. Where was his girls and his fame? Iolaus began to wonder did he even love his best friend?
"Hey what's on your mind?" Hercules asked interrupting his thoughts. Iolaus frowned.
"I'm just wondering how do you know you love someone?" Hercules looked at him thoughtfully.
"You'd do anything for them, you know that," Hercules told him clapping him on the back. Iolaus nodded.
"I guess you're right," Iolaus told Hercules as they continued walking.
"But if you really doubt it or can't believe, I would go to the source."
"Who the fates?" Iolaus asked confused. Hercules chuckled.
"Not unless you want your question answered and more questions in the process, no, Aphrodite, she's brilliant at her job." Iolaus nodded.
"That's true if there is one thing she can do it's love." Hercules nodded. "Any particular girl you have in mind I don't know about." Iolaus shook his head.
"No, but I suppose that is part of the problem, you've had two great loves, three really if you count Xena, but me all I've got are endless one night stands."
"Well maybe you don't love as easily as I do."
"No the way I see it is perhaps I love too much, I mean you hardly ever love at all." Hercules looked slightly embarrassed.
"Uh okay so are we even referring to actual love anymore." Iolaus sighed.
"Maybe you're right I ought to talk to Aphrodite herself she's suppose to be responsible for this right?" Hercules nodded.
"Well she has a hand in somethings, but there is such a thing as honest true love and even she can't and won't interfere with that."
"Tell that to the couple she tried to break up over a temple according to Gabrielle." Hercules shrugged and nodded.
"All Aphrodite could do was redirect the girl's intentions, Cupid spent months developing that into true love." Iolaus nodded.
"Well there can be many interpretations to this story." Hercules nodded.
"You know I think Aphrodite has a temple just over here."
"Oh why don't we…" Iolaus was interrupted by a scream.
"Hercules!" They both turned to see a small man running down the road towards them, there was a fork in the road and if he hadn't spotted them they were sure he would have turned down it. As it was they thought he probably had no idea he was so close.
"Are you all right?" They asked when he bumped into Hercules.
"Please do you know the way to Hercules." He took huge breaths of air.
"I am Hercules, what's happened?" The man looked more than relieved.
"An army coming straight for our village you have to hurry," He cried and now he began to pull and pull on his arm. Hercules looked apologetically at Iolaus. Iolaus frowned.
"Hey look I think you can handle an army, I'm just gonna head to Aphrodite's temple and then join you." Hercules nodded and waved to his friend as the man pulled him along. Iolaus sighed and continued on towards Aphrodite's temple. He hoped she would find it in her heart to keep his questions to herself, he didn't want it getting back to Hercules. Iolaus had been walking for a candle mark when he finally spotted the top of Aphrodite's temple; it was another candle mark before he even arrived to his amazement.
"Gods, what is it with Gods and having temples that are out of the way."
"Hey blondie it's not our fault you mortals build temples so far away," Aphrodite told him as she appeared with three guys. "You remember the boys tall, dark and handsome." She grinned at each one and rubbed their chin.
"Yeah, I do," Iolaus reluctantly admitted him gave them a short wave, they made him uncomfortable. "Say Aphrodite can we talk, just you and I?"
"Of course, that's why I didn't wait for you to call me." She sat down on one of her plush pink couches as the boys disappeared.
"How did you know I was coming here to talk to you?" Aphrodite looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Like I don't ease drop every time my name is mentioned, I want to like know what people are saying duh." Iolaus nodded.
"Fair enough than you know why I'm here?"
"You want to know why you haven't found love yet and settled down, popped out a couple of ungrateful kids," Aphrodite told him.
"Yes, that in a nutshell and the fact that I apparently love Hercules, but envy him." Aphrodite looked at him thoughtfully.
"Blondie your envy has something to do with you not Hercules that's why you love him, and no I'm not lying you love my big bro with all your heart, you'd do anything for him."
"Well where is the woman I'd do anything for?" Iolaus demanded.
"You're rash," Aphrodite told him in a surprising observation. Iolaus took several deep breaths he was getting frustrated over nothing.
"I'm sorry Aphrodite it's just all very frustrating to be so…so…."
"Envious?" Aphrodite asked as if it was nothing. Iolaus nodded.
"Yes envious I mean he's had two families and look at me, best friend all his life you ever think he's been to my wedding gave me bad marriage advice and no all because I can't make a commitment or find a woman I love." Aphrodite looked at him sadly.
"Don't fret, somewhere there is a mortal out there for you, and I haven't found her yet." Aphrodite stood and walked over to her glass bowl ready to peer in.
"But that's just it I want true love, honest to goodness love nothing you cooked up." She stopped and frowned.
"Well Blondie you can only sit and wait for true love, not all this moping around, true love will find you, there's no time limit on it."
"Perhaps I should visit the fates and ask them when."
"Or you could leave it so I don't have to repeat myself later." Iolaus was about to speak when he was interrupted, although he wasn 't surprised there. He didn't know a time when he wasn't interrupted by anything. They both turned look at Hera standing in the middle of Aphrodite's temple.
"Hera, what do you want?" Aphrodite asked. Hera had never set foot in her temples before ow, so what was she doing here. Hera didn't say a word as she raised her hand and pointed it at Aphrodite; Iolaus seeing the fireball form immediately began to push Aphrodite over to the side as the fireball went pass her and burnt a whole in the wall. "Hey, you're going to make this!" Hera didn't say a word as she continued to throw fireballs destroying the tension. Iolaus kept pulling a screaming Aphrodite out of the place.
"Come on transport us somewhere safe!"Iolaus yelled at her. Aphrodite forced herself to focus and then there was nothing but silence around her.
"What the hell was that?" Aphrodite asked. She had never been attacked by another god before unless she happen to be in the way when they were attacking Ares.
"I don't know you tell me why Hera's suddenly got it out for you."
"I don't know!" Aphrodite cried.
"Oh no please look no tears please." Aphrodite calmed down very little. "Look just come with me to Hercules, he can solve our little problem, and keep us both alive as well we just have to figure out out. Aphrodite nodded.
"That'a good idea blondie, now let's go before Hera comes." She held out her hand.
"Oh no we walk and do this my way just in case she's trapping you and your wound inside or outside." Aphrodite moaned and groaned as he pulled her out of the little shack they had landed in and headed for the road.
A/n: I hope you enjoy this first bit of a new story. This story is not originally my idea so I'm still working it out in my head a bit, but I wanted to see what you thought so far. I would appreciate feedback and these chapters should start getting longer as I get a better idea and feel for the characters and the choices they will make in this story :) I hope you liked it.

The Metal Insight Podcast #29
From depression to ascension: Mike Scheidt of Yob clears the pathImmersive art and deep dark doom
The smoke covered moons that adorn Yob's last album are the perfect image for their music.
Higher, higher then higher again go these moons, symbolising ascent.
It's kind of a metaphor for the band's struggle, and that of their singer and guitarist Mike Scheidt.
From Depression To Ascension
They are a special band, it goes without saying. Creatively rich, atmospherically nuanced, and incredilby intense in how their shapeshifting Doom weaves through so many passages and movements in every song.
Would you know it was the product of a deeper inner struggle? In episode 29 of the Metal Insight Podcast, Mike tells us about his demons – and what his attitude now is to creating such demanding artistic statements of doom metal.
We talk about that incredilbe artwork on 'Clearing The Path To Ascend', opening up about depression, and the creative challenge of putting together their intricate and emotional underground metal.
I hope you enjoy it.

Donald Trump promised his Twitter followers that he would livetweet Tuesday night's vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Tim Kaine, but the Republican nominee mostly retweeted his supporters.
Trump tweeted "Both are looking good! Now we begin!" in the early moments of the showdown. He then tweeted at Fox News' Megyn Kelly to say he was watching the debate in Nevada.
.@megynkelly- I am in Nevada. Sorry to inform you Kellyanne is in the audience. Better luck next time.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2016
Trump's next 17 posts were all retweets. Most were messages from supporters, including one from a Twitter user who compared Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate, to a Batman villain.
"@Jnelson52722: @realDonaldTrump @Susiesentinel Kaine looks like an evil crook out of the Batman movies"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2016
Another user retweeted by Trump said Clinton "gets Americans killed."
"@bcuzimdamomma: @FreeDavidKing No she only gets #Americans killed #Benghazi - we need @realDonaldTrump #MAGA"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2016
Trump also retweeted graphics favorably comparing Kaine's record as Indiana governor to Kaine's record as Virginia governor. Other tweets included links to campaign press releases about Clinton's policy on Syria and North Korea, as well as a reminder of the Democratic candidate's "basket of deplorables" remark about Trump supporters last month.
Trump also backed up Pence's support of law enforcement officers in a segment of the debate devoted to police shootings of African-Americans.
I agree Mike - thank you to all of our law enforcement officers! #VPDebate— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2016
"Police officers are the best of us..."@Mike_Pence
The billionaire closed the evening with the night's most-retweeted post, according to Twitter's own analytics.
Mike Pence won big. We should all be proud of Mike!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2016

CLEVELAND, Ohio–GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina sat down exclusively with Breitbart News prior to Thursday night's debate in the lobby of her hotel. Pretty in a pink suit, Fiorina said she was ready for tonight.
"I do feel good about today. I slept in kind of late for me – 7:30. I worked out, had a conversation with a colleague, ate lunch with my husband," she told Breitbart News, adding she is "excited but not nervous" for this evenings debate.
The former Hewlett Packard CEO spoke to David Webb in an exclusive interview for The David Webb Show on Wednesday evening where she said that she has never sold her soul, which is rare for successful individuals.
She gave a crucial example to Breitbart News of a time where she stood firm.
"I've always said I got fired in a boardroom brawl – which I did. Because I challenged the status quo and you make enemies and those enemies said, 'Well, why don't we all just say you're ready to retire, that you were ready to retire because you achieved all of your objectives,' which we had… it wasn't true," she recalled. "It would have made the press easier for a couple months, but it wasn't true."
On the topic of the grassroots conservative movement and how Breitbart readers are responding to leadership in Washington, D.C., Fiorina said, "Your readers are powerful people – more than they realize perhaps."
She went on to express disappointment in the Senate for failing to defund Planned Parenthood, as Fiorina has always been pro-life because her mother-in-law had been warned by a doctor to abort her husband for health reasons prior to his birth but didn't – so Fiorina has remained very vocal about pro-life issues.
"More Republicans need to spend their time explaining why this is so important – I've said this a lot. I've gone on interview after interview and pointed out to anyone listening – we are not the extreme ones here – the Democrats are extreme," she explained. "Their positions are extreme. Their platforms are extreme. Those videos are extreme. If we don't explain that to people, then people don't understand it," she said.
"I find that honestly, there are too many Republicans that are just like, 'I'm going to go cast a vote, but I'm not going to talk about it," Fiorina said, slamming the status quo of career politicians. "I cannot tell you how many Republicans say, 'Well you know, you should downplay these social issues' – No, totally the wrong approach."
Fiorina vowed to remain firm and vocal on her conservative stance on social issues.
"This is a moment in time – this issue, these videos, each one gets more and more abhorrent, it is a moment. It is a window where people are open to learning more, so it's a time to educate," she declared.
"I do it every time I talk," she said. "We need more people to stand up and do that."
On the issue of being one of the only Republican candidates to post a video to Facebook the day prior to the debate criticizing Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, Fiorina said Republicans must be willing to do that every time, because it is a fight now for conservatism in this country.
"We need a nominee, who's going to throw every punch we have because this is a fight now," Fiorina charged. "Hillary Clinton remains the frontrunner of her party. This is a fight now between conservatism and the Democrat Party that is undermining the character of this nation."
"The Democrat Party is an extreme party. Their views are extreme," she reiterated. "This is now a fight, so we better have a nominee who can have that fight – and I can," she vowed.
Fiorina took that moment to compare the Democratic Party to socialism.
"Debbie Wasserman Schultz cannot explain the difference between the Democrat Party and socialism," she mocked from Schultz previous TV interview where she was unable to voice a clear difference between the Democratic Party view and Sen. Bernie Sanders' socialistic stance.
"It tells you everything you need to know," Fiorina said.
"It wasn't always this way, but we have come to a place now where the Democrat platform is indistinguishable from socialism. That's why they have an avowed socialist running second place in their primary right now – they are a party of extremes," Fiorina charged, reffering to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) who is currently in second place in the Democratic primary following Clinton.
"We better throw every punch we can… that's what I'm going to do, tonight, everyday," Fiorina vowed. "It's what you see me doing. I hope that's why Breitbart readers appreciate me. I'm not going to falter. I'm not going to pull a punch, I'm going to throw a punch – it's what we need to do."

Virtual reality technology has been combined with adult entertainment to provide people with virtual reality porn experiences. It can be found for free and all you need is Google Cardboard VR streaming as well as a smartphone. You do not have to have a certain phone or headset.
As long as you have an Iphone or Android you can buy a headset or even make a Google Cardboard virtual reality headset by visiting your local hardware store. The Google Cardboard headset may not be the first choice for durability and comfort but it has affordability on its side. You can find the materials to make this headset or you can purchase one for around $5 if you are not interested in being crafty.
How to Stream VR Porn on YouGoggle on Android
If you are using an Android phone, first you will need to visit http://m.yougoggle.com on your phone's internet browser. You then need to click the "launch VR mode" button and select Google Cardboard if that is the headset you are using. Once you launch the app you just put your smartphone inside of the virtual reality headset and then you are ready to enjoy.
Streaming on iPhones
If you are using an iPhone, first you need to open your phones Safari browser and go to http://m.yougoggle.com. Then you select the "launch VR mode" button as well as the headset that you are using. Follow the instructions given and then select the "add to home screen" button. You can then close your browser and go to the app from the VR mode icon that should now be located on your home screen.
Finally, you launch the app and place your phone inside of the virtual reality headset and you are good to go. It has been noticed that for some iOS 10 users the screens appear to be blue tinted but that will be fixed once the next update is released.
The Perfect Introductory VR Headset
You may be wondering what exactly Google Cardboard is. Google Cardboard is just a piece of cardboard paired with Velcro and some lenses. It is the perfect introductory headset for the individual looking to try out virtual reality porn. By using instructions found on the internet you can take a trip to your local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowes and get the materials to build your own or you can purchase one for as little as $5.
Good Quality Affordable VR Headsets
While the Google Cardboard headset has you covered when it comes to affordability; comfort and durability are not top priorities for this headset. You can purchase a Mobile Virtual Reality Headset for under $50 if you would like a better quality headset.
These headsets are better than the Google Cardboard headsets and are compatible with all of the programs and videos that Google Cardboard has come out with. If you are just starting out and trying the virtual reality experience then the Google Cardboard headset is a good choice and then if you decide you are interested and enjoy virtual reality you can always upgrade.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Kyle Field's west-sideline stands swayed Thursday night for the last time. On Dec. 21, it gets demolished while the rest of the stadium remains.
There's an Aggie joke there just begging to be slammed over the net, but that's not important right now.
It looked for a time during the LSU-Texas A&M game that the demolition crew started early, or at least tried to hold a derby.
Mayhem, to quote a college football-related commercial campaign by a well-known insurance conglomerate, is everywhere.
Thursday night, this precinct of the Lone Star State was its epicenter.
Broken headsets. Torched timeouts. Blown referee's calls. An 8½-minute LSU drive that practically went nowhere. A do-over, an actual do-over, the second time in the past four LSU games that's happened. A nearly blown lead in a game the Tigers dominated. One more blown referee's call, just to keep things sporting.
And beneath it, an undercurrent of brute force. Clumsy at times but powerful nonetheless that eventually coalesced into a 23-17 LSU victory.
At first, the Tigers were genial guests at the Aggies' Thanksgiving table. An Anthony Jennings interception on a slant pattern for Travin Dural set up a 41-yard touchdown run by A&M's Trey Williams less than six minutes into the game. The Tigers followed that with a missed field goal by Colby Delahoussaye in the first quarter that ended his night and a 14-play drive that spun 8:31 off the clock and netted 35 yards and no points.
For much of the game, it looked as though LSU was simply playing keep-away with the ball as though it could win the game on time of possession. The Tigers rolled like Gen. Patton's tanks through French hedgerow country, but they seemed to lose the map that would take them into Berlin. Drive after drive seemed to end as spinning wheels on wet grass.
There were moments though, moments rarely seen by LSU or anyone. The Tigers wound up with 384 rushing yards, slicing through Texas A&M's Maginot Line defensive front for their highest total against any Southeastern Conference opponent in 17 years.
LSU's ground beef assault crystallized around one memorable play.
Poor Howard Matthews. The Aggies safety was waiting in open space as LSU tailback Leonard Fournette burst through a Texas-sized hole (everything's bigger in Texas) in the line.
Knees bent, arms extended forward, Matthews was the picture of textbook defensive posture. The next instant he was a "SportsCenter" highlight. Though he goes 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, Matthews was plowed like the north 40 by the 6-1, 230-pound Fournette as he steamed supertanker style into the end zone to tie the score at 7.
"It's like when a semi hits a sparrow on the freeway," ESPN's Mark May said at halftime.
Fournette's touchdown seemed to stoke some sort of fire in the Tigers, who quickly tacked on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jennings to John Diarse and a Trent Domingue field goal after New Orleans native Speedy Noil fumbled the ensuing kickoff for a 17-7 halftime lead.
Jennings was almost as much a weapon as Fournette (career-high 146 yards on 19 carries), rushing 14 times for 119 yards, deftly pulling off keeper after keeper that the Aggies were powerless to stop. And what was surprising about Dural's four jet sweeps for 49 yards is that he didn't end around for more.
But the Tigers also spent plenty of time, especially in the first half, employing their three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-mistrust passing game. LSU even went — gasp! — four- and five-wides on occasion. And the Tigers actually nosed over the century mark in passing yards with 107 for the first time since the Ole Miss game.
In the second half, though, the Tigers went back to relying on their running game, except for a 41-yard pass from Jennings to Diarse that set up a field goal miss by Trent Domingue, who replaced Colby Delahoussaye until Delahoussaye replaced him for a 43-yarder that just cleared the crossbar.
It was almost not enough. The Aggies came storming back and had the ball near midfield when Kyle Allen lobbed a pass he may have thought was a freebie because he thought LSU was offside.
Indeed, it looked like defensive end Sione Teuhema's helmet grazed the neutral zone. But it wasn't called, Jalen Collins came down with the jump ball and again for the first time since Ole Miss the Tigers were able to finish the game in victory formation.
Now 8-4 overall and 4-4 in SEC play, the Tigers may have played their way back into a Florida bowl. We'll find out Dec. 7 if LSU will be able to take I-10 due east all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and wind up in the Jan. 2 Taxslayer Bowl (the artist formerly known as Gator) in Jacksonville.
But for now it's a win, over a big rival. It was crazy, it was almost squandered, but once again the Tigers were able to rise above their self-induced fray and get the win.
Mayhem? Potential demolition? Over and over LSU says, "Bring it on."

CTGF - What a difference a year makes
So this year's CTGF is a weekly program of gym, outdoor run, indoor cycle, a 25 min swim and 1 or 2 yoga classes. I'll also be trying out Charleston and Bouldering as group activities.
Week 4
Monday - Yoga.
Monday evening - Bouldering - I absoultely loved it. After promising Jane that I won't get all macho and gun-ho I got stuck right in. Managed a few yellows and a couple of purple and blacks, highest being a 4a which required a jump up to a handle.
Tuesday - Circuits. My arms ACHED after boldering. Before starting circuits I tried a row, fine, a chest press, fine, and the a press-up and a shoulder press. NO NO NO. No way. Switched those for some knee strengthening exercises.
Wednesday - Spin.
Thursday - Charleston - too knackered to do it and gave it a miss (or rather had a hangover from watching Sunderland secure premiership football for another season ).
Friday - Holiday - Run - 7K - Dropped the kids off at school and took a 7K route home along the Worthing seafront. Desired improvement of 1K over last week.
Saturday - 100m 'non-stop' front crawl. I've never been able to master front crawl and this was last year's failed CTFG challenge. I didn't think I was going to manage it on Saturday either after a couple of aborted attempts around the 50m mark.
1 week to go which should be pretty standard except for the highlight of the Boundary Run.

The construction of a new nuclear power plant requires an excavation more than 90 feet (27.4 meters) deep. The excavation is backfilled with compacted sandy soils. The power plant is embedded about 40 feet (12.2 meters) below grade, thus bearing on about 50 feet (15.2 meters) of compacted backfill. During licensing and design of the plant, the shear wave velocity profile of the proposed backfill was estimated using results from laboratory testing (combined resonant column and torsional shear [RCTS]) and in-situ shear wave velocity measurements. RCTS tests were conducted on representative samples of potential borrow sources. In-situ velocity measurements, which included spectral-analysis-of-surface waves (SASW) and crosshole seismic testing methods, were conducted on a 20 foot (6.1-meter) thick embedded test pad of the potential borrow.
During construction of the production backfill, in-situ shear wave velocity measurements, using SASW methods, were taken at four levels during backfill placement, spaced nominally 20 to 25 feet (6.1 to 7.6 meters) apart. The fourth and final level of testing was conducted nominally at plant grade. Crosshole seismic testing through the backfill was also conducted at this level.
This paper compares the results of estimated values made during the licensing and design phases of the project, based primarily on laboratory test results, with in-situ shear wave velocity measurements made during the actual construction. In particular, SASW results from the first two levels of backfill tested (25 and 50 feet [about 7.6 to 15.2 meters] of backfill placed) are evaluated. Results from the final two test levels of backfill, along with results of crosshole testing, were not available at this writing. The comparison of laboratory results and in-situ testing provides good agreement. The assumptions made to develop the estimated values during the licensing phase are compared to the as-built measurements of shear wave velocity accounting for actual backfill materials and construction practices reflected in the in-situ values.

Long Horn Cattle, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.
We started to hear the sound of geese and soon flock after flock flew over on their journey south. The setting sun caught their underbellies, painting them gold. I thrill at their sound, watching in awe at the thought of the distance they will travel and how they find their way back and forth each year.
Night time temperatures drop below freezing. Autumn is waning.
